She said of her exit: "I was enjoying it, I wasn't ready to go home. Unfortunately Lemar was the better skater today, so Lemar stays!"

However, many fans were left furious and some even called the show a "fix" for saving Lemar for a third time after his two previous appearance in the skate-off.

One tweeted: "Is this show now a fix? Last week they judged on the first performance for Lemar not his skate off, and now he’s been saved again when Perri is the stronger skater! Not impressed..."

Another added: "How has lamar got through AGAIN! it’s a fix, perri was way better #DancingOnIce."

A third wrote: "What a fix, last week Lemar was saved even though he slipped because he’s the “stronger skater overall”, but this week he is saved because they can “only go on the skate off dance”. 😡 #DancingOnIce."

Another angry fan tweeted: "#DancingOnIce. Lamar through again. Total fix. This series is rubbish."

Tonight's show was ruled by the boys - Kem and Jake topped the leaderboard with joint scores of 27.5.

They both impressed the judges for another week and wowed fans with their spectacular skates.
